Dude you should try nft tables if you want something fast, highyeilding and stable. I know aero sounds cool and sure some folks claim it yeilds well but the nft systems are really ideal environments all the air/water/nutes the plants need when they need em. I have grown multi pound trees and they do excellent. Plus my whole system cost 25 bucks period. You can build them almost anysize with any plant spacing. I have run e&f, drip, dwc, undercurrent, hempy etc and nft is as good or better with less complication and the added ability to view the roots.
I am sold. So I have some plants in veg that are growing in 2 gal pots (inserts from ebb & grow with many holes in bottom) filled with hydroton & coco. I have been hand water/feeding daily (DTW). I need to decide what system to put em into. And I think it'll be a hybrid NFT.
Question: Have you experimented with diff depths for the solution? That is, more than a film? Thought about having a riser on the drain to increase depth to about an inch. The flow will be rapid to prevent stagnation. Suppose this would be approaching an UC? Also, I'll have a separate pump on timer to top feed so the pots don't dry or get salt build up. Thanks!
the best advice given is pick one and stick with it til you master it
